I don't think we were given a choice at all. Citizens have privileges, (ex. stay in the country for as long as they want) but at the same time, we have responsibilities and paying taxes to sustain our govt is one of them.
Everyone agrees to pay taxes when they switch from crypto to cash and the amount is huge, so they have to make their tax return to the state, which is a good thing to do if you do not want to. Law affects you. Show yourself a civilized person when paying taxes to help build a prosperous country.
